Finished my final two dives yesterday and found this really cool octopus out diving with the #octopuswhisperer at #sharkcove in #Pūpūkea . The octopus was sticking on to my hands with the tiny suction cups on its tentacles and letting us hang with it. What an amazing experience! Thank you Charli at @surfnsea_haleiwa .

🐙 • “How dare you stand there on the shore with your feet in the water and tell the mermaid she doesn’t understand its pull. How dare you shed a single tear over a toe in the same water she learned to breathe in. Months went by as she thrashed beneath the surface, and you never so much as held out a hand. Never pulled her water soaked body out from under the waves, or dove below yourself in a fit of raging valiance. No, you threw her overboard and then stood and watched. So how dare you stand ankle deep in this ocean and tell her your feet are cold. How dare you speak to her like she doesn’t understand, like you’re some tragic martyr for getting wet sand on your flip flops. She grew gills. She grew gills, and you haven’t even gotten your knees wet.” — Soulbraille @soulbraille 🐙 #octopus#pulpito#amermaidandherpet 🐙 #gettingthislilguytosafety#octopuswhisperer#hedidntwanttoleave#babyHank#letsfindDory#hitchhiker#puertorico#lifeinparadise#islandlife#islandgirl#home

Into the mystic
Look quick
And you've missed it
Time spent lost really isn't
Where life feels realistic
Into the mystic
Look quick
Or you've missed it
